And that's through knowing past colleagues of theirs.

And we invite them to interview.

But more and more, we're scaling that and trying to diversify how we find folks.

And then we have a deep interview process where, for instance, on the engineering side of things, we invite folks in for two whole days to spend two days with us going end-to-end on a project.

And that's both giving them lots of information on us as a company.

It also gives us really great signal about whether they're going to be a fit when they join.

You've grown incredibly quickly, and you've joined us on this program to explain how Cursor is being used in the real world and generating real revenues.

But if you were to reflect honestly on what's still difficult for you in Cursor and what some of the, I guess, barriers or headwinds are to your industry or you specifically, what are they?

What is it that you need to see change right now?

We have a long product journey left.

We're just at the very start of how we think building software and coding is going to change over the course of the next few years.

And I think it can be really, really easy for folks who are removed from writing code all day to stay in touch with just how far away we are from all of software changing.

And despite all of the change over the past few years, there's still so much further to go.

And so in particular, we're very focused on making Cursor not just more productive for individual engineers, but now helping teams broadly and helping across the software development life cycle.

Those that we regard as leaders of industry have talked about the AI displacement of jobs or not displacement of jobs.

And actually, as it relates to Cursor, many take the view that it's not AI that's going to take your job.

It's somebody that uses AI that's likely to take your job.

Just through the lens of what Cursor sees through its customers and internally, where do you sit on that debate, Michael?

Definitely in the data that we have, we don't see that.

We see the fold of who's participating in the software development lifecycle expanding.
